project was expected to pose many difficulties as it involved the construction of an underground tunnel and a ventilation building on reclaimed land.<\/p><p>Josephine Teo, Singapore\u2019s Senior Minister for Transport and Finance says, \u201cSince much of the MCE is built on reclaimed land, engineers had to contend with soil condition that, I am told, is almost like peanut butter.\u201d<\/p><p>Facing a lump of unstable land that was filled-in only 30 years ago along with unpredictable currents that rushed through the construction area under heavy rain, Samsung C&amp;T had to find a solution for these obstacles before jumping into the actual building. \u00a0<\/p><p>As such, the team built a temporary undersea wall about 270\u00d7100 meters wide \u2013 bigger than the size of three football fields combined \u2013 to get ready for the \u2018real\u2019 challenge.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Deep and wide excavations required by the project posed another obstacle for the team. The average excavation width was 60 meters, wide enough for more than 15 traffic lanes, while tunnels went as deep as 25 meters \u2013 by December 2013, a mind-blowing total of 3 million cubic meters of soil had been dug up, which is enough to fill around 1,200 Olympic swimming pools.<\/p><p>Recalling how the project took only five years to complete, Jae Seok Oh, Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s On-site Manager says, \u201cBy employing innovative construction methods, such as cut and cover excavation and deep cement mixing, we were able to safely and successfully complete the project in record time.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2987e9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"2987e9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=HUihpEZuzx8&amp;embeds_euri=http%3A%2F%2F1.234.21.177%2F&amp;source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&amp;feature=emb_title&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d848105 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d848105\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Making a Difference in Everyday Life<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e1ddbe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9e1ddbe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The US$3.17 billion MCE \u2014 Singapore\u2019s most expensive highway \u2014 is a part of a government push to improve the city\u2019s land transport network over the next 10 to 15 years.<\/p><p>Designed for a top speed of 80kmh and with five lanes running each way, the MCE carries around 10,000 vehicles an hour in each direction.<\/p><p>With connections to Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) in the south, East Coast Parkway (ECP) in the east and Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) in the west, the highway has become a direct and high-capacity link for commuters traveling to the Marina Bay area.<\/p><p>Tara Mohamad, a 34 year-old who lives in Queenstown and regularly drives to her office in Central Boulevard, cannot imagine how life used to be before the MCE.<\/p><p>\u201cI now get to work in almost half the time it used to take me,\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s an extra 20 minutes in bed every morning.
